Last teaching practicum

Hello everyone, and good bye to the teaching practicum!! 

last friday 13th was the las time for us to practice with kids, and it was a little hard for me.

I was my last time teaching and the first dealing with rebelious.. It was difficult because the lesson was not the one we have created. Our topic was present perfect and our skill was listening. The warm up and the pre listening was developed by Gaby. 

Then, it was my turn I had to worked on the during. The lesson that we receive had two during listening activities, but I had prepared another one in order to made my time with the kids more understood. Sadly I forgot to develop my last activity because I was descontroled when I saw the kids really distracted and bored. we choice an audio called what have you done? and it was about two people in a phonecall talking about the vacations of one of them and what she have been done on the trip.

I started showing them the words they will going to listen in the audio. Gaby had shown the words that were verbs in base form so I shown them in past participle, because they had to identify the sentences in past perfect. My activities needed their complete attention because they had to listen the audio and identified the words they hear. But just two of them were working, other was copying and like that. I tried to made them repit the words as an improvised activity before asked them to identify the complete sentences with the aim of make them wake up. They did not colaborate as I thought. Then, I bring to them an envelope with words and images realted to the audio and I asked them to look for the correct image to the sentence and order them according to the audio, but even when we recorded the audio many times they could not identify the order each sentence had been mentioned. So I just let them look for the sentence and the correct image. I felt worried because I felt that I had no more time to develop my last activity and for that I told Mary to continuous with the last part that was her turn.

 She was alittle rude, but she developed ther activities well. First, she ask the to draw what they liked more from the audio. After that, she asked to look for the correct sentence to the draw in the sentences I have given to them before. She finished with BINGO. 

Here I include some videos with tips that could be helpful in the moment to make students pay attention to the class. This as an advice for my group and the other I observed after us. But also for all of you my colleagues because we need a lot of tricks on the sleve. Believe me that I am going to take them into consideration...

The next par of the class was developed by Melany and Liliana. I liked the idea of them to made an interesting story. They were based on the super heroes and that was amazing because they instantly caught the kids attention and keep them interested. I liked from Liliana that she asked to the kids to read parts of the story after she read it complete.They also thaught in the idea of bring stars to their good behavior during the class and at the end bring a gift. I could not see all their activities because with my group, we had to prepare for each kid a cup with fruit coctail as a healty refreshment for them.





To conclude, it was a really nice experience for me to interact by first time with different tipes of kids. and this step we have given is really important as an experience to see our good and bad behavior giving classes and what we can do better in order to grow up in our carreer
